What do you know about cloning? Are the following statements
true or false?
1 Since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1996, many other
animals have been cloned, for example, cats, deer, dogs, horses, rabbits and
rats.
2 Cloned animals always look the same.
3 Human stem cells have been cloned in laboratories to grow
human tissue.
4 A human being has never been cloned.
In the future, do you think scientists will try and clone a
human being?
